Happy Easter

HAPPY EASTER...

I love these little chocolate praline eggs which I found in Haighs (the best Australian chocolate maker by some margin). They match the specklediness of our kitchen bench. I prefer them to the brown chocolate eggs, I don't know why. And I think they look quite becoming in my favourite green dish (etruscan glass) which was purchased on a long ago trip to San Gimignano.
I hope you all have a fabulous Easter.
I for one will be trying to recover from my throat \ chest infection, watching the leaves turn orange (although hopefully not all at once, that would be a bad sign), eating roast lamb, green beans and garlicky rosemary potatoes and spending time with my beautiful children and divine husband.
And maybe a glass or two of medicinal pinot noir. And not forgetting some medicinal dark chocolate. And some medicinal laughter.

Hmmm, speckled eggs and pinot noir ...You'll be on your feet in no time. RIght - you've just reminded me to get the lamb out of the freezer!!! And to go and buy easter eggs (if there are any left now :-(. Have a wonderful medicinal easter - I shall raise my glass of pinot noir to you (notice how it's only the lamb I forget!

Dear Jane,Hope you have a good rest and get looked after this Easter weekend. I have bought a chicken that was freerange, fed on caviar(haha) and given spa treatments, for the amount it cost. It might not have had ALL of those things but, it is a special one as it cost an arm and a leg.We will have that on Sunday. We are having fish tonight. That was a fluke, even though on Good Friday you are supposed to have fish.Your glass bowl is beautiful and the speckled eggs are very classy. Eat loads of them, enjoy your time with your lovely family and get well soon. XXXX

Happy Easter Dear JaneWell I think I have got that chest infection too now.. the weather has definitely taken a turn up here.. cold and damp.... enjoy the rest of your break.. and lots of chocolate ... xxx Julie

Hope you sent the dreaded lurgie packing over Easter Jane. Son #5's sweet little girlfriend works in Finance @ Haighs HO. To ask her not to bring their dark choccie eggs to lunch on Sunday because of MOTH's strict diet was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do! Yes, they are THE BEST!!Millie ^_^
